No, Kent, they are not. Posting attacks like this without evidence is cowardly and dishonest. I'm not going to tolerate these screeds from you about people I've worked with and respect without calling you out.

Every time you spew this toxicity, a chunk of bcachefs users reformat and walk away. Very soon, you'll have none left.

What are they famous for then? High quality, trustworthy code?

It doesn't matter if you want to "tolerate" it if every time there's a filesystem thread there's stories about lost filesystem and unfixed bugs, and the rare times people try to report bugs or issues they go nowhere.

You're ranting about reality, and somehow I doubt you were ever a user of mine.

I've worked hard to establish an engineering community where no one has to be afraid to point out broken shit, including and especially in my code, and I wouldn't want your attitude anywhere near it.

Absolutely. Demonstrably much moreso than you over the past decade.

You have failed. Look at this conversation: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/fe51512baa18e1480ce997fc535813c...

Do you think Arnd, David, and Russell feel like they were rewarded for pointing out your broken shit? I doubt it. I certainly don't. You were so completely and obviously in the wrong there I have difficulty believing it was real.

I'm not replying to you again. Good luck :)

HAH

Not comparable to losing filesystems, sorry...
